Crane & Tower Bases
At Seven Sons Construction, we know that every successful crane or tower starts with one thing—a rock‑solid base. Our team specializes in designing and building heavy-duty foundations that safely support cranes, towers, and other vertical structures in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
What we build
Crane bases: Engineered foundations for mobile, tower, and overhead cranes, designed to handle dynamic loads, uplift, and vibration.
Tower bases: Foundations for communication towers, process towers, platforms, and structural steel towers in plants and industrial facilities.
Equipment pads and piers: Custom concrete pads, piers, and anchor systems for hoists, gantries, and support structures.
Our approach to crane and tower bases
Engineering‑driven design
We work from stamped engineering drawings or collaborate with your design team to ensure:
Correct load paths: Proper transfer of vertical, lateral, and overturning forces into the soil.
Reinforcement detailing: Rebar layout, lap lengths, and bar sizes that match real‑world constructability.
Anchor bolt accuracy: Tight tolerances on anchor bolt placement so steel and crane components fit the first time.
Precision layout and excavation
Survey‑accurate layout: We use precise layout methods to ensure base locations, elevations, and bolt patterns are exactly where they need to be.
Soil preparation: Subgrade proof‑rolling, undercutting, and stone base installation as required by the geotechnical report.
Forming and access: Formwork and site logistics planned around your plant traffic, safety requirements, and shutdown windows.
Concrete placement and finishing
High‑performance mixes: Concrete mixes selected for strength, durability, and environmental exposure.
Continuous placement: Pours planned to minimize cold joints and ensure monolithic performance.
Finishes and embeds: Final surfaces, chamfers, grout pockets, and embedded items installed to spec.
Safety and coordination
Plant and site safety: Our crews are trained to work in active industrial environments with strict safety protocols.
Shutdown and outage work: We coordinate around your production schedule to minimize downtime.
Trade coordination: Close communication with steel erectors, crane suppliers, and tower installers to keep the project moving.
